5.2.2 Test specimens for type testing steel parts of valve
The tests for axial forces, bending moments and torque are type tests for a range of valves with the
same construction principle, design and materials.
To qualify a whole product range with the same construction principle, design and materials, two valve
sizes within this product range shall be tested. The qualification shall be valid from half the size of the
smaller valve (but limited by smallest valve size of the product range under consideration) and twice
the size of the bigger valve (but limited by the largest valve size of the product range under
consideration) which were tested.
If the construction principle, design and materials are not the same for the whole product range, the
product range shall be split in separate ranges (where the construction principle, design and materials
are the same) and the above mentioned rule shall be applied to each split range. The manufacturer is
responsible to ensure that the complete test sequence as specified in this document is carried out and

responsible to ensure that the complete test sequence as specified in this document is carried out and
all test results are documented.
5.2.3 Test specimens from casings and thermal insulation
The test specimens from casing and thermal insulation shall be taken in accordance with prEN 17415-2.
